Li Xiang arrived at the Yue Wang's Mansion and asked Cheng Yanjin and Fang Saburo to rest with the soldiers in the palace, and then they were taken to a garden by the Yue King.

This garden is a playground built by King Yue, which has a swing training hall and even a large horse farm. King Yue would come here every day because the bicycle that Li Xiang gave him was also placed here.

When Li Xiang arrives this time, his child's heart can be exposed, no matter how high his status is, he is just a teenager who wants to show his toys in front of his friends in order to be praised by others.

Li Xiang knew this psychology very well, so he praised King Yue hard, making this little guy happy.

In fact, Li Xiang still had a purpose at the beginning, after all, King Yue was the highest official in Luoyang City without Yang Guang, and Li Xiang was not on good terms with Yu Wenshi, so some of the officials in Luoyang City would stand on the opposite side of Li Xiang.

Befriending the king of Yue, many officials who see the wind and rudder will have a measure in their hearts, at least they can choose neutrality, rather than standing on the side of Yuwenshi and coming to get along with him.

But after getting along with King Yue for a while, Li Xiang was moved by guilt and shame for his thoughts. King Yue is really good, and he is like his playmate to Li Xiang, and he never hides anything.

So Li Xiang later let go, "What do you care about Yu Wenshi and what do you do?" There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and a child should not be used like this! Li Xiang thought so.

"Li Xiang, how can you make so many fun things?" King Yue and Li Xiang rode a circle of horses, a little tired, and the two sat in the gazebo to rest.

"I just like to do it blindly when I'm fine, and slowly I found some rules, and I can use it when I do it again in the future, and over time I will do more things." Li Xiang explained slowly.

King Yue held his cheeks and listened carefully to Li Xiang's speech, he now admires Li Xiang, a peer who can do anything.

Li Xiang looked at him, thinking that he had to carry many things that only adults have at this age, and he must be very tired in his heart, so he wanted to make him happier, and said, "Lord Wang, let me tell you a story!" ”

When King Yue heard this, he said happily: "Okay, good, I used to listen to the queen mother's stories, but I haven't seen the queen mother for a long time." ”

Li Xiang knew that Empress Xiao had been very indifferent to the remaining sons since the death of Yang Zhao, the prince of Yuande, and he didn't know why. However, he became more and more fond of Princess Jinyun, so this time Yang Tong's birthday, Empress Xiao didn't say anything.

Li Xiang didn't want such a young child to have a shadow in his heart, so he said: "Yes, the queen mother knows that the prince's birthday is coming, and she is too busy to come, so she asked me to give her a gift." Li Xiang said and looked at Yang Tong, and saw that his eyes lit up significantly.

Then he said: "But the gift will not be sent until the prince's birthday, now I will tell a story to the prince, which is also what the queen asked me to tell to the prince." ”

"Well, then you can say it, I will listen very carefully." King Yue nodded and began to sit there upright.

"A long, long time ago, in a distant country, there was a fairy mountain, and at some point, a big stone grew on the mountain. In the following tens of thousands of years, the stone withstood the wind and sun, absorbed the essence of heaven, earth, sun and moon, and gradually became spiritual! Li Xiang began to tell the story of Journey to the West.

"After a few hundred years, the stone suddenly came to life, and suddenly it burst open in the middle, and a monkey came out of the stone." Li Xiang spoke with emotion, and King Yue also listened attentively.

……

"Sun Wukong turned the East China Sea Dragon Palace upside down, and finally took away the Dinghai Divine Needle. The magic needle can be big or small, with a ruyi golden hoop stick written on it, as soon as Sun Wukong was happy, he told him to keep getting bigger and bigger, and finally even the sky poked a hole, and finally alarmed the Jade Emperor. ”

When Li Xiang said this, he looked at the sky and said, "Lord, the story is very long, let's stop here today, I should go back too." ”

I thought that King Yue would be unhappy and even angry, but I didn't expect him to nod calmly and say, "Okay, you should go back too." ”

Li Xiang was very surprised that his performance was not what a child should have at all, and asked worriedly: "Is there anything wrong with the prince?" ”

"Nope!" King Yue said lightly.

"Oh, that Weichen has retired!" Li Xiang had no choice but to give a salute and prepare to leave the house.

"Wait!" King Yue suddenly said to Li Xiang.

Li Xiang turned around and saw that King Yue was a little nervous, and he wanted to speak a little, and he didn't know what was wrong with him.

After a while, King Yue said: "Thank you, I know that the queen mother will not think of me, you can accompany me for an afternoon, and tell me such a beautiful story, well, thank you!" ”

Li Xiang was stunned.

This kid is smart and kind, he knows everything, but he didn't expose it on the spot, and actually cooperated with Li Xiang for an afternoon. At this time, Li Xiang didn't know whether he comforted him for an afternoon, or if someone accompanied him for an afternoon.

Seeing that Yang Tong's gaze was so pure, and thinking about the life he lived, Li Xiang really thought of that sentence: "Poor born in the emperor's family!" ”

Seeing that Li Xiang didn't speak, Yang Tong said again: "I don't have friends, can you be my first friend?" The child timidly asked this sentence, which made Li Xiangdu feel as if his heart had been hit heavily, and let out a long breath.

smiled and said: "Lord Yue, Li Xiang will always be your best friend, don't worry, you have to be happier, you have the opportunity to go to Longmen to find me." ”

"Then don't call me Lord Yue in the future, I don't like this name, you can call me Yang Dong or Dong'er." Yang Tong looked straight at Li Xiang.

Li Xiang nodded and said, "Okay, then we'll make up our minds in the future, when there is no one, I will call you Dong'er, and when there are people, I will still call you Yue Wangye, okay!" ”

"Yes!" Yang Tong laughed happily, it was that kind of sincere smile, joy from the heart.

Li Xiang couldn't help but touch his head, and laughed comfortably.

Li Xiang still went back, and on the way he made up his mind that no matter how much happened in the future, he must protect this child, because Yang Tong is cute and innocent, because they are friends.

Just when Li Xiang was having fun with Yang Tong, the king of Yue, there were also a few friends talking in the palace not far from the palace of the king of Yue.

Yu Wenshi raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "It is really brilliant to be able to invite the three adults to the mansion today, come, drink this cup!" After speaking, he took a sip, and the mouth of the cup lit up like the three people in front of him, waiting for the three people to react.

One of the three fat men laughed and said, "The colt said it was funny, we can come here to see the pony, I did it too!" "It's also a mouthful.

Another person with a somewhat dark face didn't speak, raised his glass and said before he said: "Invite the horse, how dare Lao Zhao not come, haha, drink!" ”

Only the last person hesitated for a moment, looked at the three of them, or sent them to their mouths, and did it too, but they didn't say a word.

Yu Wenshi and his eyebrows were inadvertently raised, and he returned to normal, and said with a smile: "Invite a few adults to come today, in fact, there is no big deal, but I heard Yong'er come back and say that several children went with him today to participate in a poetry fight, and it seems that they broke up unhappily in the end, is that the case?" After speaking, he looked at the three of them with a smile.

"Hey, don't mention it." The black-faced man said: "That Zhao Xian in my family is purely being bullied." After speaking, he poured another glass of wine and said, "Brother Guo's Lin'er is not much better, right?" ”

The fat man also sighed: "Isn't it the same? That Li Xiang is too arrogant, I really think that we have no one in Luoyang! ”

Yu Wenshi and said: "Does he still dare to bully the son of the magistrate of the dignified ceremonial department and the servant of the criminal department?" ”

"Who's to say it isn't?" The fat man said again: "Even the beloved son of our Shangshu Right Shilang Lu Chulu, isn't he also teased by his subordinates?" Isn't it, Lord Lu? As he spoke, he looked at the man who had not spoken.

It was Lu Chu who didn't speak, and as soon as his son Lu Mo returned home after fighting poetry today, he was called over and taught him a hard lesson. Lu Chu knew Li Xiang, and he admired Li Xiang very much for the things he did, but he didn't expect his children to follow those few gentlemen to challenge Li Xiang today.

When he was summoned by Yu Wenshi in the afternoon, he wondered how the person he had never dated had an uncharacteristically entertaining treat today, so he had never spoken since he came in.

At this time, Guo Wenyi, the official of the Ministry of Rites, asked him, and he said: "I, I don't, I don't think so." He, he is, self-inflicted, suffered. ”

Zhao Wenchang, the black-faced servant of the Criminal Department, said with a gloomy face: "Then Lord Lu must also think that our children are also self-inflicted?" ”

Yu Wenshi looked at Lu Chu, waiting for him to speak.

Lu Chu looked at the three of them, without the slightest hesitation, nodded fiercely, and sat there with a straight face.

"Vertical sons can't conspire!" Guo Wenyi turned his back to Lu Chu angrily and said.

Yu Wenshi said with a smile: "Don't make a lot of noise, dissipate your anger, let's call a few people to talk about Li Xiang, why are we arguing with our own people, come on, let's have another drink." ”

Guo Wenyi and Zhao Wenchang raised their glasses at the same time, but Lu Chu stood up and hugged his fists and said: "Donkey, donkey, in the lower body, the body is a little uncomfortable, just, I won't accompany you, farewell!" With that, he turned around and pushed the door open.

All three were stunned on the spot.

Zhao Wenchang was the first to react, and said to Yu Wenshi: "Why did the horse invite him too, that is a stone, no matter how you cover it, he won't be hot, why bother!" ”

"That's right, he and we are not all the way, we are angry with him in vain, donkey, is there any way, let's destroy Li Xiang's prestige!"

Yu Wenshi hated Lu Chu very much in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "Okay, okay, don't talk about Lord Lu like that, after all, we are all friends, and we will help each other with things in the future." ”

"The horse is open-minded and admired." Guo Wenyi said immediately.

"Yes, we can become friends with the colt, it's really a blessing from the previous life!" Zhao Wenchang also continued.

"Haha, you guys, don't praise me anymore, let's discuss how to deal with Li Xiang, you may not know that he arrested my housekeeper in Longmen." Yu Wenshi looked at the eyes of the two as he spoke.

"How can this be reasonable, he is too arrogant, I will definitely find him tomorrow, ask him well, who gave him the courage." Zhao Wenchang stood up indignantly.

Guo Wenyi also said: "Yes, I will go with you tomorrow." ”

"Good!" Yu Wenshi stood up and said: "There are two adults who come forward, and Li Xiang doesn't dare to be arrogant against the queen's decree." ”

"Yizhi?" Zhao Wenchang was stunned for a moment and asked, "He has the queen's will?" ”

"Chengdu sent someone to say that he came to pay homage to the prince of Yue this time, and he came to solve the matter of my housekeeper by the way." Yu Wenshi said.

"Ahh So that's the case, I said why is he so arrogant. Oh, by the way, there is a big case to be tried tomorrow, it is a case personally ordered by His Majesty, there can be no negligence, I have to go back and take a good look at the file first! Zhao Wenchang suddenly thought of something and was about to leave.

"Wait for me, I'm going to check some etiquette for King Yue's birthday banquet next, so as not to lose the royal demeanor when you get it, let's go, let's go together!" Guo Wenyi also stood up.

The two of them gave Yu Wenshi and a salute, and left in a hurry.

Looking at the three wine glasses on the table, Yu Wenshi pushed the table to the table and shouted, "Friend? Vertical too! ”
